Ok, there's been a suggestion that we have an In Memoriam section to honor those great flat artists you have died. So, lets have some names, and we will put it to a vote. It would be nice to have at least one photo to post with the name when someone is vote in. So if you have a photo, please say so in your nomination post. Thanks
After we get this rolling we can start on the Hall of Fame for the living. I thought this subject might be quicker - and we need to test out the process.
So, have at it, members.

I would add Jim Woodley as a start. (I have spent the day working on a few of Jim's flat's I purchased last year.)
There is some info on Jim here:

He seemed to touch quite a few folks in the community and certainly did beautiful work!
-
One other notable whose work I will be adding shortly:
Vladimir Douchkine

Both good candidates. I'm thinking we will need a short write-up for each person in this section. Photos appreciated.

Bumping this thread. C'mon guys! Let's have some names and suggestions.

I have asked rod johnson for something on jim woodley. i thought he and Mike Tatlor would be a good start to the Hall of Fame.
-
Yes that would be a great start.

Unless something has happened recently, Mike ( kent) Taylor is still with us, so technically this is the wrong area for him.
Perhaps it should be modified for both categories of living and passed on.

I have many paper pictures of Walter Fisher figures
I could make scan of the best ones
I do think the late Walter does have his place here
If no objection I will work on that

could it be possible to create an In Memorian Gallery which could be accessible to members only to add pictures and to anybody to view
it should also have subgalleries by name

Nice to see photos of figures by Walter Fisher i am a big fan of his. If it was not for him and Lynn Sangster i might never have found Flat figures and all the great people i have meet since.
